Show Composer
For vMix · Windows · early access

Program the most complex live show from one running order. Show Composer drives vMix, cue by cue.

Cameras, clips, graphics, scripts, the teleprompter, your ATEM: one list drives it all. The control a broadcast gallery takes for granted, now for a YouTube channel, a livestream, an esports tournament, a public event or a house of worship.

Two plans, $29 and $79 per studio a month. A 14-day trial with everything in it when we open.

The Director screen during a show: the list of shows on the left, the running order with image and video rows, coloured block headers, attached prompter, vMix and overlay cues, the current row and the next one marked, the time on air and a TAKE button on every row.
ON AIRNever in the path of a take. Backups, updates and the cloud wait until you are off air. TAKESame sequence every time. Select, rewind, play, transition. A clip always starts from the top. vMix 4K 27 and 29. Used daily on both.

One rundown for everything

What used to take a broadcast gallery and a six-figure budget.

Show timing, scripting, a teleprompter and the control of your professional hardware and software were separate products, each with its own operator. Show Composer puts them in one running order that one person can run.

One person, one key

Every row can carry a camera, a clip, a lower third, a sequence of vMix actions, an ATEM cut and the prompter text at once. One press of Space fires the whole row, in order, the same way every time. A show that needed four operators needs one.

Or turn it into a switcher

No planned order? Switch "Up next" off and the running order becomes a panel of prepared actions, each one button, pressed in any order. The most complex action you can build is still one press.

Timing everyone can see

Time on air, time on this cue, the clip countdown and what comes next, on every screen in the room, from one clock.

The teleprompter is built in

No second product, no second operator. The script follows the running order by itself, and the presenter keeps reading while a clip plays.

Talks to your gear

vMix inputs, overlays and about fifty everyday vMix commands; a Blackmagic ATEM for cuts, keys, macros, record and stream. From the same row.

Pre-build the entire show

With Studio Pro the team builds the episode in its own cloud, uploads every video and image there, and it is on the vMix set seconds later, wherever that set is.

How it works

One program on the vMix PC. Browsers for everything else.

Nothing to install on the iPad or the laptop. Open the studio's address on the same network and the screen is there.

1. Build the running order

Drag clips and pictures in from the library, add a camera, a lower third, a prompter script, an ATEM command. Attach cues to a row so one TAKE fires them together.

2. Put it on air

Show Composer adds one playlist input per show to your vMix and leaves your other inputs, their numbers and your PiP wiring alone.

3. Run it alone

One key fires the next row with everything on it. Or switch "Up next" off and press any row in any order. Pause, Resume, Restart, and two Master Takes for "back to the studio".

Studio Pro

Your team builds the show from home. It is on the studio PC seconds later.

The same editor, hosted at your own address. Sign-in per person, a chat per running order, media and shows mirrored both ways. The cloud ties several vMix sets together for planning, media and people; each set still goes to air on its own PC, offline if need be.

What the cloud adds, and what it never touches →
